Mysql.data.dll in repository vs. GAC

[jordansparks]

Frederik,

You made mention of this issue in the last few commits. I would like to know if this is an issue specific to Linux, or if it applies to Windows as well. I have no intention of trying to install anything in the GAC. And even on Linux, my installation strategy is to have all dll's in the application directory. So if I install on Linux using the dll that is in SVN, will OD run?

Like I said before, I consider the Mysql.data.dll to be a piece of junk, and the only way that I've been able to keep it running smoothly is to pass everything as strings and do the type conversions myself. The behavior which you have accounted for will undoubtedly change in an unexpected way if the version of Mysql.data.dll is changed later. I have been down this road before a number of times, and I really really don't want to have to start dealing with date-time conversion errors.

This should be fixed in SVN.
